Draft Grade — Bengals
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Bengals kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Bengals shredded theirs for Jack Kiser. He came off 29 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Mondon Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: tight end settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 30th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 49 with a little surplus value in Xavier Watts. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick62 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
They took Wyatt Milum at par in the 62nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
A premium they did not need to pay, Ashton Gillotte a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Charles Grant
They robbed the room for Charles Grant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jared Wilson at pick 119 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 30 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Kiser. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Thomas Fidone II
The board had cheaper options than Thomas Fidone II at pick No. 193, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
